National Widow’s Day is coming up on May 3rd. Yes, there is actually a day for us that are widowed! It’s not a “holiday” but a day to educate others about the struggles and challenges widows go through and support those who have lost a spouse. You’d be amazed at the number of widowed friends I have and probably be more surprised that most of them are under the age of 40 with young children. It doesn’t matter the age though, we all have lost something that unless it’s happened to you it really is hard to understand. All we ask is that you support us, what we’re going through and our grief and do not question when we will “get over it” or “stop talking about our spouse”. Thank you Kerry Phillips from Young, Widowed & Dating for partnering with Hope for Widows to help spread the awareness.
